Hornbeam

Carpinus betulus

The Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) tree is a pretty tree which is native to the South East of England, though is found as far as Northern Scotland. It is popular as a hedge and can be seen in more formal gardens trained and pleached. The Hornbeam is not totally different in appearance to the Beech though the leaves are less shiny and more delineated and serrated. In folklore the Hornbeam was considered to be immortal!

Also known to be particulary tolerant of clay soils and polluted areas, though grows well in all locations. Can reach up to 30m.

The current height of these trees is approximately 20-40cm and they can be planted out all year round.
